This year, as with last year, not a single Scottish whisky made the top five whiskies in the world. For 2016, the United States took two of the top spots — Pikesville Straight Rye and William Larue Weller Bourbon, at second and fourth place, respectively — while Ireland’s Midleton Dair Ghaelach placed third, and Japan’s Suntory Yamazaki Mizunara took fifth place.
